Marching for my country,
Marching off to die
Fight for king and glory,
Fight to stay alive
Storm another stronghold,
Kill another man
Rush the field before us -
With steady sword at hand
... with steady sword at hand!
The dead now count in legions,
But more will surely die
Sent into the action,
With no thought of human lives
Casaulties are mounting,
From the guns upon the hill
God, they need to be silenced -
Charge them now we will
... Charge them now we will!
Feed the gun
Feed the guns
Meatgrinding projectiles,
Blowing through our ranks
Shrapnelridden soldiers down -
Bits and pieces all around
Rip the silence - Cannons brawl -
Bloodsoaked troops still dashing on
Shellshocked victims fall behind -
Keep formation on maintain the line
A thousand gun barrage
Drifts of men lie dead
Craters fill the landside
Juggernauts of Death

What is the meaning behind Cannon Fodder lyrics?
When we look deeper into its meaning, Witchery's 'Cannon Fodder' reveals the dreadful aspects of wars through the use of metaphors like 'meat grinding projectiles' and 'cannon fodder' that tell us about the dehumanization and the senseless loss of life. The continuous steps and the order to 'feed the gun' underlined the issue of the madness of war and the robotic character of the conflict. Cannon fodder mostly vocalizes the feelings of despair, angst, rage, social commentary, and introspection. Simultaneously, the song points out the need for war and sacrifice, the absurdity of war, and the futility and despair aspects. The lyrics portray very violent and brutal events like death and warfare, and these are not intended for the young to hear. The bloody and very brutal pictures of the deceased among soldiers, 'meat grinding projectiles,' and 'blood-soaked troops' have added to the mature theme which is similar to that of an R rating. ✔️
